Have you ever been asked what one makeup item you would take with you if you were stranded on a deserted island...and then you are forced to weigh the pros and cons of each product?For me, the answer is easy: eyeliner. Without hesitation, I would pick MAC's gel liner (and I would hope I could throw in the angled brush, for application purposes, of ...
A Weekend Haul & Second Chances
I went to Sephora this weekend to get the cute little clutch they were advertising (spend $50, get a clutch full of samples.)While there, I finally picked up Benefit's Coralista blush that I've been wanting to own for awhile. I love it! It's a gorgeous peachy-pink. It will be the perfect blush for our tropical vacation in January. It goes on ...

Real Housewives Hair, OOTD & Contest Reminder
I don't know if any of you girls watch the Real Housewives of Orange County (the 5th season premiered last night on BRAVO), but it's definitely one of my guilty pleasures!While watching, something I could not help but notice was Gretchen's and Tamra's hair (and in the previews, the new housewife, Alexis, seems to have good hair as well). I've seen ...
The Carrie Belt
The Carrie belt. Most fashionistas know what I am talking about before even needing to see a photo. Yes, it is the ever so sought-after Patricia Field belt that Carrie wore with numerous outfits in "The Sex and the City Movie" (which came out on my birthday, by the way!) I have always coveted this rocker-esque belt, but balked at its $150 price ...
October Favorites
I'm going to go ahead and follow the beauty blogger/YouTube beauty Guru trend and do an October favorites post. Some of the products mentioned are some of my long-term favorite products, and others are ones I've purchased recently. I'll also include trends I'm loving, just because. 1. Short, painted nails. I absolutely love short, ...
Five Things…
Ladies, I am so excited about so many things right now that I wanted to share them all in one post!1. There is a new website here in Houston called Culture Map. It is an online "mapazine" featuring all things Houston- the best places to eat and shop, along with society and events coverage, fashion and beauty, etc. The sleek new site just went up ...
Motivation Mondays: Candice’s Hot Yoga Routine and Beauty Tips
What can I say about the amazing Candice? We met (fatefully) at a book signing for one of our favorite authors (Emily Giffin) and we've been besties ever since. We are both Canadian girly-girls with a shopping problem and a love for all things girly, ruffly and pretty (and PINK!).We exchanged business cards at the book signing, emailed each other ...
Product Review: Essie Mint Candy Apple & Jewelry Box Organization
I have been kind of post-crazy lately, I know! I wanted to quickly review Essie's highly-anticipated polish "Mint Candy Apple."Since I was unable to score a bottle of Chanel's "Jade" polish (and by unable, I mean unwilling to spend more than the retail price for it), "Mint Candy Apple" felt like a wonderful solution for my mint-green polish ...
A Halloween Night’s Makeup
As I mentioned in my last post, I totally wasn't into Halloween this year. We ended up watching a scary movie while eating pizza and drinking some wine, and then we went to a house party in Bellaire that was so crowded- I've never seen anything like it! They cleared out all of the furniture and the massive living room was a huge dance floor ...
